Is paying a $100 a day to go to the Disney parks worth it? Disney is Disney, and they always demand and get, higher dollar. You can't begin to compare them to anyone else, there is nothing like them. It's all about the Disney experience and the high quality of the Disney product. A Disney cruise is a total immersion into Disney. The ship has Disney decor and hidden Mickey's throughout the ship. The new Disney Dream has pictures that come alive as you walk by them. It has a new Aqua Duck roller coaster that is sure to thrill young and old alike. Of course there's the characters, and Disney themed dining. There is no casino on their ships. That area is turned into the children' area. Production shows are Disney themed and of top quality. Movies on board - Disney movies in a theatre and by the pool. There's plenty of adult areas on the ship and on their private island. Disney also is the only cruise line authorized to shoot fire works off their ship. Disney is a high quality product. I've never seen Disney be chintzy. Is it worth it? You'll have to decide on the type of experience you want for you and your family.
